Darren shot his head forward and stared at Kyley with a dumbfounded expression. He opened his mouth to speak but he had no idea what to say. " I saw the dining earlier and I think it would be the best place to eat this meal. Besides, I don't think I can climb back up the stairs just yet, and I don't want you carrying me. I wanna start walking on my own from now on" Kyley rambled on in a low tone, finding an excuse after another. She just didn't want to go eat alone in boredom up in her room. Darren hearing this stared at her for a while before shaking his head. He rubbed his temple in thought for a while then sighed. " Fine." " The dining it is" He turned around and dished both his and Kyley's food, then placed it in a large tray and said to Kyley as he headed out of the kitchen. " Let's go." Kyley nodded her head and slowly stood to follow behind Darren. Getting to the small dining hall that was next to the living room. Kyley had only taken a glance at the dining hall mos
Handing her a towel along with a shirt and a pair of shorts that belonged to him, Darren was surprised when Kyley snatched it from him and stomped her feet as she walked into the bathroom. Slam!Darren watched this with his mouth slightly agape on surprise. Sometimes, Kyley's actions were so random one of these days that he couldn't match it with the same shy, reserved, and timid werewolf that he used to know her to be. She had become a totally different person!Nonetheless, Darren only heaved a deep sigh and shook his head before continuing downstairs to finish his meal. Once he was done with his meal, he picked up both his plate and Kyley's and went to clean them in the kitchen. Thereafter, he returned to the living room to relax on the couch after the sumptuous breakfast. ' I hope she fits in those shirt and shorts...' As he lay on his back and stared at the exposed beams above, Darren's thought wandered to Kyley. He'd only realized that Kyley didn't have clothes to wear when he
" You may lay yourself down while I get ready" Darren informed in a serious tone just as they got into the room. Kyley nodded her head at him and moved to do just as he said. She proceeded towards the bed and gently lay herself down.Darren didn't linger around either as he moved to the drawers in the corner and began rummaging through them, picking up the things he needed to tend to Kyley's wounds. Kyley watched Darren all the while as searched through the drawers with a serious expression. Soon, Darren turned around with a bundle of bandage, a tweezer, a pack of wool and a dressing film in hand and walked towards the bed where Kyley was. " Let me see?" Once he sat by the bed and placed the things in his hand on the bedside table, he asked. His tone was calm and solemn as he faced Kyley still with a serious expression.Kyley nodded severally and reached to lift up her shirt, revealing her soaked-up bandaged wound to the side of her stomach. It looked a bit of a mess.Darren crease
From his husky tone and languid expression, one could tell that Darren had just got up from bed. He was obviously having a good crash and Kyley had just ruined it.He was only putting on a pair of pants and his muscly hairy chest was bare. Darren placed one of his thick arms on the wall and opened the door with the other. Kyley was stomped at the sight of his gorgeous body and her eyes widened fixatedly on him, subconsciously taking in every bit of detail about his toned muscular body, and trying hard to resist the urge to touch them. She was left stomped and speechless at this sudden sight of him.Before long, she batted her eyelids to regain her thoughts and instantly looked away. Kyley remembering that Darren had asked him a question opened her mouth to speak but her mind was blank! Darren s suddenly appearance in this irresistible state had left her thoughtless. Grrr!Kyley almost ran away when she heard the sound of her stomach grumbling. She looked at Darren in shock as if to
Kyley was left speechless and just stared at the floorboard. She didn't want to keep Darren staying up and at the same time, she couldn't go against his will. " Come on" Darren walked over and headed to the dining, urging Kyley to come along. Kyley had no choice but to follow him to the dining. However, " D-Darren..." Kyley called out to him with her gaze still lowered, she felt strange after calling his name. It had I be since it was the first time he'd be calling him by his name. Nonetheless, Darren has already turned around with a raised brow as if to ask if anything was the matter. Kyley pushed the thought about calling his name for the first time aside for now and raise her gaze to look at him, " I really can eat alone upstairs and you can go back to bed. You've already been kind enough to me, and I don't want to ask too much from you or overdo it" Kyley ended up lowering her gaze as she said in a timid tone. She couldn't face him while saying such emotionally gravitating w
Two weeks later, the city of Portico had suffered a whirlwind of change. The streets which was usually alive with the hustle and bustle of people rushing around without bothering about the next person had become a bit scanty and full of people gazing upon each other with obvious skepticism in their faces. The surrounding woods had become a danger zone that whispered with an eerie tension. A sense of anticipation and tension hung in suspension in the atmosphere as a result of the big change that had taken place in the city. The trendy cafes and stylish boutiques were abuzz with chatter and gossips, adding to the suspenseful atmosphere as there were certain rumors going about. It was unknown who started it, but it sure spread about like wildfire. And although there were those who doubted and second-guessed, it was evident that something was wrong in the city. As night cloaked the sky, covering it from the light of day, Jake hid in a dark alley. He stood in a dark corner wearing a
...' Something is definitely wrong' As Jake made his way across the streets, he could t help but rethink the whole thing over again with a deep trepidated frown worn on his face.Th city is quite important to Jake and even without the hunter having to tell him to do so, Jake still would have asked around for information when he noticed something wrong. Portico was his home after all. And this time, what was currently going on concerned werewolves. It was no surprise that as a werewolf himself, he was curious to know what was going on. No, he has to know!Besides, it may concern his brother whom he was still trying to find clues as to his whereabout." Yoldes' palm?" Jake muttered confusedly, being very familiar with that name. It was the local pub where he and Erik had went to hide at back when hunter Logan was in their pursuit. Thanks to old man José, they were only able to hide in the shelter and treat Jake's wound to a manageable extent. However, the owner didn't let them stay
Jake was surprised to find that there destination wasn't in any way related to his prior thought.It was the park. Are there rogues hiding here too? Jake couldn't help but glance at the hunter, but as usual, he couldn't figure out his thoughts.Getting to the lake where they had met the cops last time, Jake became even more confused when he sawthe two cops, Court and Jamie who were standing in the exact same spot that they met last time with a defeated expression worn on each of their faces.Not that Jake didn't understand that their purpose in coming to the park was to meat them, but the real question was... Why?Jake didn't understand why all of a sudden they were meeting with the cops. Didn't the hunter say he knew everything about what was going on the city? So why was he not acting upon it. Why is he doing meetups with the cops instead? Jake looked at the hunter as they pulled over, however, the latter's expression was still as indiscernible. There was no telling just what was g
Slam!Returning back into the cabin, Darren held Kyley in his arms, carrying her like a princess.The latter just clung unto him with her face buried in his chest, seemingly lost in thought.Tap! Tap! Tap!.He silently carried Kyley up the stairs, ignoring the living room that seemed disheveled as though a war had broken out there. He had a solemn expression worn on his face.Getting to the top of the stairs, Darren continued towards the room.Once he got in the room, Darren slowly walked towards the bed and gently laid Kyley down on it. The latter turned on the bed, facing her back to Darren. She wrappedher bloodied hands around herself as she curled in bed. Her gaze seemingly lost in a distant thought.Darren didn't say anything and just say by the bed, his back faced to Kyley as well. He stared at a distant spot in thought with a sour expression on his face.Silence loomed over in the dark room as emotions grew intense in the heavy quietness. " Kyley?" It wasn't until after a lo
" Are you okay?" Darren moved back from the embrace, quickly checking Kyley's body for injuries or wounds of any kind as he asked. What she did just now was very risky and he still feared that Jason might have hurt her someway. After all, Kyley was just an omega. She's weak.Kyley still staring in a lost daze at Jason's dead body moved her gaze to meet Darren. " I killed him..." she muttered in a low tone. Darren hearing this froze and looked at Kyley warmly. He reached a palm to cup her face. " You did the right thing Kyley. Besides, you saved me." Darren said to her in a tone full of gratitude. He reached to cup her face warmly.Feeling his warm touch, Kyley couldn't help but raise her gaze to look at him. Her pale blue iris reflected his well outlined face under the moonlight. Her eyes watered and she broke into tears as she jumped into his embrace.' My love...' Darren sighed pitifully in his heart and hugged Kyley tight.The latter cried hard in his embrace for the longest whi
Darren had ran through the woods in pursuit of the scent and tracks left by the person who had left the cellphone with instructions to trace them. It was as though he were playing hide and seek as he rushed about the woods, running in trail of all sorts of things like hair, piece of clothing and marks on the trees. With the piece of underwear in his hands, Darren could tell that it was a lady. " Follow the trails I left behind in the woods towards the Moonblood pack if you wish to find Kyley. Hurry!" Running around the wilderness towards south, Darren couldn't help but be reminded of the content of the message that he'd found on the screen of the cellphone that he'd found on the countertop. Considering this involved the Moonblood pack, Darren knew that he might very well be walking into a trap set up by Jason. However, he still persisted. If they had taken Kyley captive, he needed to find her and save her regardless. He didn't care about this being a trap set up for him. So l
' Trouble! Big trouble!' she thought to herself, panicking as she fell into thought as to how to get out of this mess. She could very well try to run away at the moment, but what about Kyley? " Why?" Jason stopped on his step forward and asked with a creased gaze. He spread a palm and shook his head dramatically as though he'd given Paige everything in the world only to for her to betray him. Paige couldn't help but shudder at Jason's words, her eyes darted about as she became horrified. If she doesn't do something soon, she would have to spend the rest of her days in that basement with Kyley as Jason's torture pigs. Nonetheless, she knew she had no way of fighting Jason. She could only try to stall for time at the moment. Paige looked around in search for something to protect herself with as she slowly took cautious steps back, hoping that there was enough distance to escape. " You're sick, Jason. You need help..." She shifted into her human form and said, shaking her head se
Just as Jason left, Terry and Igor who had only been attacking the weak members of the Nightclaw pack, massacring every one of them, instantly ran towards Alphonse who pushed himself off of the car and was looking to retreat while still alive.The only thing that had saved him just now was the fact that Kyley had escaped Jason's captive.And If it wasn't for Jason being obsessed with her, he would have been dead by now.Besides, he believed that Jason wanted him alive for some reason.Alphonse wondered just how Kyley ended up in Jason's captive when she had that lycan around to protect her. Did Jason defeat a lycan?Alphonse wasn't too sure, however, it didn't seem unlikely since he had been able to capture Kyley who was under the protection of that lycan. It only made sense to think that the lycan was defeated.If so, then what was he even thinking!?Now wasn't he tune to even ponder all of that. He was wounded and needed to retreat while he still can.However, just as Alphonse was
When he got to Yoldes' palm, Jake was surprised to find the usually filled local pub empty with only José standing by the bar. He had been here severally in the past few days after all, and it had never been like this. Hence, Jake couldn't help but furrow his brows in confusion at this, wondering just what the heck was going on. He quickened his step to approach the bar counter with the thought that perhaps, the werewolves of the Nightclaw pack were aware of the Hunters association's looming assault and had fled the city as a result of this. " Hah! I tried my best to stop him, Jake. But there wasn't anything I could do about it" Jake shook his thoughts off of what he was thinking for a second and frowned when he heard José sigh and say as he sat by the counter. Seeing Jake walk in, José grew tense, unsure of how to break the news to Jason. Not that Jake didn't understand José, nor did he not know that the old man was speaking about Erik. However, he still didn't understand ju
At nighttime, as the sky darkened with the sight of the full moon blocked by the dim heavy clouds, Jason stared at his pack members who moved about in preparation to attack Yoldes' palm in the city of Portico. His main target being Alphonse and his Nightclaw pack. Tonight, he had no reason to fear the hunters or whatnots, as he had the perfect plan in mind to lure Alphonse out. His gammas, Terry, Igor, and Harrod stood right behind him with stem expressions, all ready for the attack as well. Just then, Vroom! Vroom! Sounds of several vehicles were heard from all around as the whole place slowly lit up under the illumination of headlights. Before Jason could even frown, several bikes and cars rushed out of the woods and came into sight as they surrounded the entrance to the Moonblood pack residence near the woods. Jason looked at this with a slight scorn, wondering just what pack had the audacity to raid the Moonblood pack residence. However, he soon expressed surprise
It was close to noon when Darren finally arrived at the cabin. He wasn't wearing anything as he'd ran all the way through the wilderness in his lycan form to cover more grounds. When he got to the porch, he could sense a strange scent that didn't belong to Kyley and he instantly became alarmed. " Kyley..." He rushed in, not minding that the door was unlocked. " Kyley!" Darren called out loud for her just as he stepped into the cabin. However, he caught sight of how disheveled everywhere was just when he arrived at the living room, and he couldn't help but frown and run upstairs to look for Kyley. His heart shook frivolously, panic and fear subsumed his being as several thoughts crossed his mind. " Kyley?" He called as he checked the rooms and the bathroom but she was just nowhere to be found in the house. Darren's heart pounded and thrummed in his ears as he ran down the stairs to look for her in the kitchen. He couldn't sense her presence in there before but he still thoug
In the city of Portico, inside Yoldes palm. The Nightclaw pack members gathered in their full numbers, all of them armed with several weapons as they were prepared for the long awaited raid. They had axes, knives, metal bats and all other sorts of weapons. Their eyes gleamed with determination and conviction to fight. The slightly balding Alpha of the pack, Alphonse, stood at the crown of the stairs looking at Nicole whose hands were held in his tightly. The latter seemed gloomy and sad about what Alphonse was about to do. At least, she wanted to come along with him, however, Alphonse just wouldn't let her. " Don't worry, Nicole. We'll return victorious. Trust me," Alphonse asserted in a deep convincing voice, caressing the back of her hands as he looked into her eyes affectionately. Nicole raised her gaze to look at Alphonse and nodded severally, still not convinced but not trying to stop him from going any longer. She had already made several preparations with the higher-
